The primary focus of the Business Architect’s role is the business motivations, business operations, and business analysis frameworks that link these aspects of the enterprise together. A Business Architect is expected to be a visionary, a strategic thinker, an analyst, and a change agent. This unique blend of roles requires an understanding of the business’s operational and strategic direction and can communicate it effectively to a wide variety of audiences. A business architect will build strong relationships across the organization and use those relationships to align strategic goals with business reality, and will work across Business and IT to build and apply targeting operating models (TOM) by enhancing Guidewire Cloud capabilities, including optimization of customers' Business and IT operations, in an agile, collaborative, and dynamic environment across multiple client projects.
